frequently asked questions

I get asked quite a lot about this blog. Mostly it's "You have a blog?! What?!" and the like but a few of them are questions which I get asked again and again. Here are a few which you might find useful.

Q: How did you come up with your blog name?
A: I went through quite a few blog names before I settled on Esme Madeline. I seem to remember "Clothes Hangers and Cake Tins" (cringe I know) "Just a Magpie" (no idea whatsoever) and "Little Blog in the Big City". Blog names are difficult to come up with, but try to make sure yours reflects your personality and the type of content you'll be producing. A nickname, or perhaps just your name like I used are always good. The possibilities are endless!

Q: Who designed your blog layout?
A: I actually designed my blog myself. One day I'm sure I'd like to have a proper blog makeover though, so keep watching out for that!

Q: What do you use to edit your pictures?
A: I use PicMonkey if I'm doing something in a hurry, and Photoshop if I have the time.

Q: What made you set up a blog?
A: I liked the idea of having a place to share things that you liked with other people that like them too, and I liked the idea of connecting with brands and people.

Q: Can I follow you on social media?
A: Sure! I have Pinterest, Tumblr, Twitter and Bloglovin'. All my links are at the bottom of my posts.

Q: You're quite young...
A: I'm 12! I know that this could be perceived as a disadvantage whilst online, but I'm a firm believer in not letting anything get in your way when you have goals. My age doesn't matter to me.

Q: What camera do you use?
A: I use a Canon EOS 50D.

Q: I want to start a blog, but I'm a little shy and I have no idea where to start!
A: I've been blogging for 3 years now, and I think starting my blog has probably been one of the best decisions I've ever made. My blog is something I'm most proud of. Go for it! Start up a blog. If it doesn't work out, it really doesn't matter. Have fun and stay internet safe.


Q: Are you a PR friendly blogger?
A: I am indeed! If you want to send me something or have any enquiries, please email me at esmemadelinecontact@gmail.com
